UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Humberto MORAN-TORRES, Defendant-Appellant, 530 F. App'x 660

MEMORANDUM •Humberto Moran-Torres appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 120-month sentence for being a deported alien found in the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Moran-Torres’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record.

Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief on direct appeal. Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED. AFFIRMED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
